Inspection Service Summary of Activities* and Statistics Following is a summary of activitics and statistics of the SteamboatInspection Service for the fiscal year ended June JO, 1017: i The force inspected and certified vessels with a total gross ton- 1 nape 01 < ot u nion (>, < ??> were domestic vessels with a total gross tonnage of 5,960,310, and 208 foreipn < passenper steam vessels with a total i pross tonnape of 1,289.279. Of the domestic vessels, there were r?,.r>.10 steam vessels, 005 motor vessels, 21 pas- i senper barpes, and 500 seapoinp barges. There was a decrease of 305 in the total number of vessels inspected and a decrease of 125,210 in the total < pross tonnage of vessels inspected as compared with the previous fiscal year. Letters of approval of designs of boilers, engines, anil other operating machinery were granted to 51 steam vessels with a total pross tonnape of 1,328. There were inspected for the United States Government 82 hulls and 1.590 boilers. There was 2,827 reinspections of passenper and ferry steamers, an increase of 80 over the previous fiscal year. The two traveling inspectors traveled over 17,000 miles, inspected 002 vessels, and found 512 deficiencies of various kinds. Licenses were issued to 20,9(52 ofli cers of all grades. There wore examined for visual defects 7,838 applicants f<v license, of whom 01 were found color-blind or with other visual defects and rejected. Certificates of service were issued to 13,304 able seamen, and 1,507 were rejected. Certificates of efficiency were issued to 11,010 lifeboat men, and 2,013 were rejected. Steel plates for the construction of marine boilers to the number of 3.000 were inspected at the mills, and a | large amount of other boiler material j I was inspected. There were examined land tested 202?.r>03 new life preservers, of which number 1,350 were rejected. The total number of accidents result ing in loss of life was 2">7. The | total number of lives lost was 502, of | I which 71 were passengers. Of the jlives lost 210 were from suicide, acci-. dental drowning, and other causes beyond the power of the Service to prevent, leaving a loss of 382 lives as fairly chargeable to accidents, collisions, founderings, etc. There was a decrease of 084 in the number of lives lost as compared with the previous fiscal year. Passengers to the number of 317,005,171 were carried on vessels required by law to make report of the number of passengers carried. Dividing this number by 71, the total number of passengers lost, shows that 4,400,120 passengers were carried for each passenger lost. Eleven hundred I and ninety-three lives were saved by means of life-preserving appliances re quired by law. War Conditions j The work of tbe service lias increas! ed in several respects due to war conjditions; and although the force of inspectors was materially increased during the fiscal year, the force of inspectors and clerks was not sufficient t" meet the increased demands on the Service without taxing it to the utmost, and the Bureau recommends a < substantial increase in the number of ' inspectors and clerks, particularly of clerks, in order that the work of the Service may he properly kept up. t! Bureau also recommends an increa in the salaries of all inspectors ar. ! 1 clerks due to higher salaries paid oil* side of the Service for the same ch.i- 1 racter of work and the increased cn- * 1 of living. < During the year many interned German vessels were examined by inspectors of this Service. Inspectors were detailed to the Cape Tod Canal, t ' watch vessels navigating that body of < water. The inspectors of the Service have been engaged in cooperating with ( the Iteeruiting Service of the United SUites Shipping Board in furnishir" * information with reference to officer < who are available tr> man Hie cliinc l and in approving the applications of < persons who desire to enter the nan- ' tieal schools conducted by the Recruit ' inp service. The number of examination of applicants for licenses has ] prently increased, owing to the increased demand for officers to man tinvessels thai are bein padded and which will be added to the merchant fleet in 1 arpe numbers. s The number of reinspect ions of vec sels has increased. Inspections of ves- ^ sels are more carefully made than formerly, requiring a lonper time to make ' ( the inspections, and a larpe force of; inspectors. n Overloading of Steamers ., The Rurenu points out that, owlnp 11 to amendments of the laws, the re- t ;ponsibility of approving the passenp- h ^r allowance of vessels comes under o :he jurisdiction of supervising inspec. t tors, as a check on the action of local n nspectors. In case of doubt by local 1 nspectors as to the stability of ves:els, stability tests of such vessels are h 1 inaiii by an expert detailed for tli< purpose. There is no law attains t the ove 'binding of freight steamers, hut the Service has lieen doing what it ear to prevent overloading of vessels ?>f this class. Inspectors have heen de tailed on the (Ireat Lakes in the fall to prevent the overloading of vessels of this class, in which work they have re ceived the hearty cooperation of the owners. The Bureau recommendameiulment of the law to remedy this defect. Fire Distinguishes Experience showing that some lire extinguishers approved hy the Board of Supervising Inspectors were defective and that standard was desired, the Bureau obtained samples of fire extinguishers from all of the firms whose fire extinguishers had heen approved, and these extinguishers were submitted to exhaustive tests by the Bureau of Standards, this Department. Aa result of those thr. li.t proved fire extinguishers was cons id rehaly reduced, all of which was done in the interest of safety. A "Safe and Sane" Christmas in 1917 Why not? Why should people lose their heads just because it is Ciitistnias and do absurdly dantvetons thit.es that the least atom of icfierii>n would condemn. Why must our holidays be associated with destruction, suiTerintr and death? It is but a few years since ??ur Fourth of July celehra-im had tie1 casualty records of a Init io field t>n Independence Day, in 1.'.'it? "patriots" were killed, and wcte injured; hundreds of thou .mils of dollars worth of property was destroyed. It was too much fur even American carelessness, an 1 the notation for a "Safe and Suv" Fourth of July resulted in reducing this h - tiro until in iuk tne ?leu its wcro inu 1 I. and the number of injured, To Christmas now belong-, the tit!" of the "most deadly holiday." Coless there is a radical change in customs throughout the United States, many buildings will be smoking ruins j upon December 2t?th, and many chii-j dren, and grown peopl?, too, now alive-1 and well, will he dead or maimed for life as a result of Christina.-.. It is shockingly unnecessary. It ;s wellnigh criminally careless. Christmas dangers fa'l into two main classes: those of the No'th, and those of the South. In the noith, the deadly custom of lighted c italics upon inflammable Christmas tr4es, hung with tinsel and celluloid ornaments, the liberal use of cotton snow, an I other unconsciously incendiary practices, annually transform a day of gladness into one of iv.oipnim: in thousands of homes. In the South, the wide-spread use of gun-powder vies with the oid-limc destructiveness of the Fourth of July celebration. How real this latter danger is, and how easily it may he controlled, is evidenced in the following extract from an editorial in ti e Nashville "Tonnessean," for Dcccnibber 27, 10IH; "On Christmas day in Nashville, a quiet in keeping with the secredness of the day was observed. .-ktrrely an explosion of fireworks was he ir<l.
